"It seems that this online game was indeed created by a powerful individual, but I wonder what their intentions are."

On this vast ocean, there are all sorts of Devil Fruits. Even though the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia records many Devil Fruits, there are always some that are not recorded. No one knows whether this is a prank by a Devil Fruit user or if it hides some deeper meaning.

But regardless of which one it was, they all vaguely felt that this was an opportunity.

If they continue to explore One Piece Online and record its information, then report it to the Marine Headquarters, they will be able to obtain unimaginable rewards!

Through the Rinne Sharingan reflected on the moon, Yang Ming observed that Coby and Helmeppo had discovered a small part of the secrets of One Piece Online. He didn't know what expression to make, so he could only sigh and rub his forehead. Sure enough, he still had to temporarily seal the players' memories, otherwise, after One Piece Online was officially released, who knew what kind of trouble the large number of players would cause him.

Chapter 371 The Vinsmoke Family

Through the Rinne Sharingan reflected on the moon, Yang Ming observed that Coby and Helmeppo had discovered a small part of the secrets of One Piece Online. He didn't know what expression to make, so he could only sigh and rub his forehead. Sure enough, he still had to temporarily seal the players' memories, otherwise, after One Piece Online was officially released, who knew what kind of trouble the large number of players would cause him.

Yang Ming took out his notebook and started writing and drawing, leaving behind his experiences and insights.

After all, creating a One Piece online game that covers the entire world is something that has never been done before and will never be done again. Yang Ming has no predecessors to learn from, so he can only accumulate experience and lessons little by little.

Fortunately, Yang Ming has already distributed the accumulated tasks to his subordinates at the Navy Headquarters. Even the mountain of books and documents coming from various branches are handled by his personal secretary, Kalifa, allowing him, a hands-off manager, to have enough time and energy to deal with matters related to One Piece Online.

Otherwise, even if Yang Ming had three heads and six arms, he would still be unable to be in two places at once.

North Sea.

The ocean is a deep blue, like a giant sapphire set on the surface of the planet.

A steel warship swept across the sea, its steel hull piercing the blue waves at the bow, parting a path as it forged ahead. The waves it stirred up, carrying silvery white spray, swept over the sides of the ship with a "whoosh" sound, then merged with the surging waves at the stern, leaving a shimmering trail of water that extended to the distant sea, creating a vast expanse of shimmering light.

As the warship bearing naval markings sailed toward Germa 66, alarm bells immediately rang out above this massive vessel, which was touted as a mobile nation, causing a flurry of activity as everyone rushed to the watchtowers to see what was happening.

Germa 66 can be described as a super battleship with its own life. Not only can it be amphibious, becoming a huge landmass, but it is also equipped with a lot of advanced technology that is ahead of its time, making this sea fortress extremely fast, which ordinary sea kings cannot catch up with.

On the Germa 66 warship stands an ancient-style castle building, composed of various towers with domes and shimmering stone peaks, which are reflected on the sea and show a unique style.

"Da da da! Da da da! Da da da..."

A series of rapid footsteps sounded from the castle gate, and rows of fully armed soldiers walked out, each armed from head to toe, with uniform equipment.

After the soldiers came out, a few young people dressed in different styles arrived late and leisurely walked out of the castle under the watchful eyes of the sculptures wearing knight armor on both sides of the road.

Eldest daughter, Vinsmoke Reiju.

Eldest son, Vinsmoke Eich.

The second son, Vinsmoke Nitchie.

The fourth son, Vinsmoke Yongji.

These four individuals are members of the Vinsmoke royal family, each possessing unique weapons, such as Vinsmoke Nitchie's Light Speed ​​Sword, and equipped with technological shoes, belts, gloves, anti-swelling masks, and other gear and tools.

Their entire set of equipment alone is worth over 100 million Berries. They easily accomplished a small goal, which shows just how wealthy the Vinsmoke family is.

But this is quite normal, given that the Vinsmoke family was once very wealthy.

The Vinsmoke family is a household name in the North Sea. They once controlled the entire North Sea by force, and although they no longer have territory, they are still qualified to participate in the World Conference.

Four men and women climbed the steps to the watchtower, muttering complaints as they went:

"What's going on? How dare someone provoke the Vinsmoke family?"

"Who cares? As long as they're enemies, we'll just bury them all!"

The four chatted and laughed, seemingly not taking the outsiders seriously.

Even though the Vinsmoke family is not as glorious as it once was, their military power still makes the countries of the North Sea tremble. In fact, after the Vinsmoke family was no longer bound by territory, they often acted as pirates to plunder everywhere in order to raise funds for research on bloodline factors, which has long made them feared by all.

However, when they reached the watchtower and peered through the telescope at the approaching steel warships, Vinsmoke Nitchie, who had just been clamoring to bury all enemies, turned pale and couldn't utter a single word.

"Navy?"

In the past, during the era when the marshals of the Warring States period commanded the navy, they naturally had nothing to fear.

But now, Marshal Shura has ascended to the throne and issued a comprehensive order to suppress bandits, causing all the mafia, mountain bandits, and sea pirates in the world to live in fear and live in constant anxiety under Yang Ming's shadow. Wherever the steel warships pass, there are piles of bones, which has forged their supreme reputation.

The Vinsmoke family had once dabbled in pirate roles, robbing and pillaging everywhere. As members of royalty, the four of them naturally felt guilty, muttering to themselves:

"Could it be that our robbery of that kingdom has been exposed?"

"Damn it! Didn't we kill everyone in that town? How did we manage to leak the information and attract the navy?"

"Oh no, Barbie Q is gone!"

The three Vinsmoke brothers are still very young, not even 18 years old yet. In addition, they are about the same age as Yang Ming, who has long been the "other people's child" and is often used by Vinsmoke Judge as a typical example to teach them a lesson.

It's fair to say that they all grew up listening to Yang Ming's stories!

Therefore, they naturally knew just how ruthless this Asura Marshal was!

Seeing the three of them huddled together, trembling, completely unlike their usual arrogant and domineering selves, Vinsmoke Reiju, as the eldest daughter, sighed and didn't know what to say.

Of course, she also knew that the Asura Marshal, through Vinsmoke Judge's words, had left a deep psychological scar on them during their growth, so such a reaction was indeed normal.

"You guys better pull yourselves together!"

“If the navy is here to cause trouble for the Vinsmoke family, it won’t just be one steel warship; it will be at least three.”

Vinsmoke Reiju put her hands on her hips, and the somewhat sizable mountain of steamed buns trembled slightly, rippling out in a subtle arc.

Upon hearing Vinsmoke Reiju's words, the three brothers, led by Vinsmoke Ichiji, were finally less panicked. They were not stupid, and after a moment's thought, they vaguely guessed that the Navy's sudden visit was probably for something big. They immediately ordered their soldiers to hold their positions and went down from the watchtower to the dock to personally greet them.

Chapter 372 Vinsmoke Judge

Upon hearing Vinsmoke Reiju's words, the three brothers, led by Vinsmoke Ichiji, were finally less panicked. They weren't stupid, and after a moment's thought, they vaguely guessed that the Navy's sudden visit was probably for something big. They immediately ordered their soldiers to hold their positions and went down from the watchtower to the dock to personally greet them.

Guided by the soldiers waving flags, the steel warships slowly slowed down and approached the designated dock.

As the water gently swayed, the dock trembled slightly, and the massive steel warship anchored in the dock.

Only by facing this steel warship up close could the four Vinsmoke siblings truly feel the difference between the navy of today and the navy of the past.

The steel warship was 120 meters long, about 17 meters wide, and had a draft of about 9 meters. It had a carrying capacity of over 5000 tons and a deck area equivalent to that of a professional football field. Powered by steam engines, the steel warship was far faster than any other ship of its time, including the Vinsmoke family’s proud Germa 66, which paled in comparison to this steel warship.

Needless to say, the dark muzzles of the gun emplacements protruding from the three rows of densely packed gun emplacements on both sides of the steel warship are like a giant beast crouching on the sea, baring its fangs and claws at any hostile enemy. Once the three rows of hundreds of cannons fire at the same time, the scene will be absolutely explosive. Any wooden three-masted sailing ship that is hit by a round of cannon fire will probably sink into the sea.

Several people looked up and saw that the surface of the steel warship was marked with mottled marks, including slash wounds and white marks left by cannonballs, as if this steel warship had experienced many battles along the way, leaving behind these marks that were worthy of being called merits.

A menacing aura emanated from them, giving the four young Vinsmoke a slight shock to the Navy.

When the hatch opened, an iron ladder descended, and Lieutenant General Jonathan stepped out, their pupils constricted in surprise.

"A Vice Admiral from the Navy Headquarters?"

The four men's eyes lingered on the epaulets on Lieutenant General Jonathan's shoulders. Anyone who had no sense of propriety in this sea would have been thrown into the ocean to feed the sharks long ago.

The four siblings received the strictest education from the Vinsmoke family from a young age, which was incomparable to their good-for-nothing third brother, Sanji. Naturally, they could recognize Lieutenant General Jonathan's identity at a glance, which further confirmed their previous guesses.

The navy's sudden visit suggests they have a grand plan!

Jonathan looked around but didn't see Vinsmoke Judge, the head of the family. Instead, he saw four juniors warmly greeting him. As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, so Jonathan naturally wouldn't get angry. Besides, he was currently shouldering Yang Ming's important mission: to maintain the image of unity within the Navy. With a friendly expression, he shook hands with the four and smiled:

"I've often heard that the Vinsmoke family head is skilled at educating people, and seeing it today, I can confirm it. Indeed, heroes emerge from among the young; they are all outstanding young men!"

The Vinsmoke siblings have certainly heard nice things before, but it depends on who the recipient is.

If their servants said such things, they would simply take it as flattery.

But when the person in question was a vice admiral from the Navy Headquarters, things changed instantly. Jonathan's words made the four siblings overjoyed, and they found the thick-browed, big-eyed uncle much more pleasing to the eye, looking at him with increasing warmth and friendliness.

"Hahaha……"

Just then, a hearty laugh came from the direction of the castle, and in no time, a tall, strong, and heroic man arrived at the dock, laughing:

"My children are so ill-mannered. Knowing that Lord Jonathan was coming to visit in person, they didn't even inform me. They are truly unworthy of such praise and are very ashamed!"

Vinsmoke Judge kept saying he felt ashamed, but the curve of his lips betrayed his true feelings.

Tell me, which parent in the world doesn't hope their child will become successful?

Especially for Vinsmoke Judge, his children are of great significance. To receive praise from Jonathan, a strategist who has risen to fame in recent years, is like eating ice cream on a hot summer day, refreshing from head to toe!

Jonathan turned around with a smile and looked at the elderly Vinsmoke family head.

Vinsmoke Judge has long, brilliant golden hair that cascades down his back like a shawl. He is a burly man who, simply by standing there, is like an iron tower standing on the ground, giving people a deep sense of oppression.

Most interestingly, he has a pointed black mustache that points upwards on his upper lip, a small mustache on his lower chin, a metal helmet, a light gray combat suit with the Germa 66 logo, an orange cape, white gloves, a gold belt around his waist, and boots with jet propulsion.

Vinsmoke Judge is a seasoned veteran, so naturally he wouldn't blindly believe Jonathan's one-sided story.

Judging from his combat suit alone, it's clear that he came prepared to potentially clash with the Navy from the very beginning.

Jonathan smiled without saying a word, having already seen through everything. He recalled the information about the middle-aged man in front of him, who could be described as a legendary figure in North Sea.

Vinsmoke Judge is known as the Strange Bird and has many titles: patriarch of the Vinsmoke family, king of the Germa Kingdom, commander of Germa 66, a scientist on par with Vegapunk, who became famous worldwide for killing the four kingdoms of the North Blue, and whose dream is to make the Germa Kingdom dominate the North Blue again.

It can be said that he is a man with both talent and ambition.

If his strength were sufficient to support his ambition, the North Sea would probably have fallen long ago and been completely ruled by the Germa Kingdom.

Unfortunately, the World Government has always been committed to balancing the various forces and does not allow any force to become too powerful. The Germa Kingdom's attempt to unify the North Blue was doomed to failure from the moment it conceived the idea. No matter how many times Vinsmoke Judge tried, he would inexplicably fail for one reason or another.

"Lord Jonathan has come from afar and it is an honor for us to have him grace our humble abode. I have prepared fine wine and food, and please allow me to do my part as a host and properly entertain Lord Jonathan."

While Jonathan was pondering these thoughts, Vinsmoke Judge, with an expression of warmth as if meeting an old friend, personally led the way, guiding Jonathan down the red carpet towards the magnificent castle.

Chapter 373: Playing tricks

"Lord Jonathan has come from afar and it is an honor for us to have him grace our humble abode. I have prepared fine wine and food, and please allow me to do my part as a host and properly entertain Lord Jonathan."

While Jonathan was pondering these thoughts, Vinsmoke Judge, with a warm expression as if meeting an old friend, personally led the way, guiding Jonathan down the red carpet towards the magnificent castle.

To enter the castle, you need to cross a stone bridge and pass through an archway. Then you will see a meticulously crafted garden in front of the castle. The gardener has trimmed the trees nicely, butterflies are fluttering among the flowers, and a gentle breeze carries a refreshing fragrance of flowers.

The castle features Baroque architecture and furnishings, a Gothic hall, and a large interior space divided into various distinctive rooms, including armories, bedrooms, living rooms, an exhibition of the Vinsmoke family crest, a 300-year-old collection of porcelain, and displays of new firearms and equipment developed in recent years.

Walking on the red carpet and through the corridors adorned with oil paintings, Vinsmoke Judge, seemingly showing off or displaying his family's wealth, enthusiastically introduced the items to Jonathan.

"Lord Jonathan, please look. These are clone soldiers developed and produced by our Vinsmoke family. After years of research on bloodline factors, these clone soldiers possess physiques no less impressive than their original counterparts, and their minds are pure and simple. With just a little guidance and indoctrination, we can cultivate a completely loyal army."

"Look here, this is a combat suit developed by our Vinsmoke family. It is not only close-fitting and lightweight, but also has strong defense. It also has special abilities, such as the invisibility suit I have here. Wearing it makes you invisible, and the effect is comparable to the invisibility fruit."

Even though Jonathan had already obtained information from the intelligence organization, he couldn't help but nod repeatedly, feeling quite amazed.

Perhaps noticing the wistful look on Jonathan's face, Vinsmoke Judge, seemingly testing the waters, feigned an arrogant expression and said:
